I just watched this documentary on hulu.com. I highly recommend it.

I first learned about Harvey Milk a few months ago on NPR. Just like NPR — always being sensible, discussing the issues surrounding Prop. 8 and also giving us Bay Area people some history. Then that movie came out. Then today I was bored and stumbled upon this documentary.
It’s a beautiful story, full of hope and change. It reminds us how we always need great leaders to look up to and powerful role models to learn from. Sound familiar?
Milk is a piece of San Franciscan history that I hope will always live on. Prop. 8 is just for now. If Milk and his supporters were able to overturn something on the scale of Prop. 6 (watch the documentary), we should be able to make that next best decision to allow for the natural progression of rights and liberties to all people.
Thank you, Harvey Milk, for making our world a better place.
